    Will doubling RAM make any difference on laptop with SSD?


    Going from a mechanical HDD to a quality SSD was like going from a Ford Fiesta to a Dodge Charger. Made a nice huge difference in performance for my old laptop.

    But I'm also curious to know... does it make any sense to upgrade my RAM from 8GB to 16GB? Or is by virtue of having an SSD means that cache is already fast enough? I do not run compilers or any other highly intensive programs. About the most taxing would be some video editing. I'm guessing it won't be much of a difference, not nearly if it was with the HDD still in place. But just wanted to confirm. Thanks!

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    SSD vs. RAM for Gaming

    16 GB RAM is plenty for gaming. 32 GB of RAM is overkill. Better to put the money into other options. Because you are asking if 64 GB RAM for a gaming laptop is a good idea I am wondering how balanced the rest of the options you are considering for this laptop are. Would you list the site you are looking at and let us have a look at what you are thinking you want for GPU and CPU.
